After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 122 Preparations for the Great War (Part 1)

"Senior Brother He, you flatter me. My swordsmanship is naturally inferior to yours!" Ye Xiaobai said with a smile. Just by glancing at He Lei, Ye Xiaobai felt a strong fighting spirit. Ye Xiaobai could not match that kind of aura.

"Junior Brother Ye, you're too modest. We must spar sometime!" He Lei said calmly.

"Definitely!" Ye Xiaobai could only agree for now. But upon closer reflection, he thought that sparring with He Lei might yield some unexpected gains.

While everyone was having a lively discussion, Sect Master Han Chuanming and Zhou Wenlei came to the group. Everyone immediately quieted down, knowing that the next step was to arrange things.

Han Chuanming stood with his hands behind his back, looking firmly at the many disciples in front of him. A calm smile appeared on his lips as he spoke in a loud voice: "You are all loyal disciples of my White Tiger Sect. You must already know about the upcoming attack by the Azure Cloud Sect."

"Time is of the essence; there are only twenty-odd days left! I have summoned you all here today because I have a matter of utmost importance to entrust to you!"

Before the words were finished, a loud shout came from the crowd, as deafening as thunder.

Luo Dalin, tall and resolute, stepped forward first and shouted, "Please tell us what it is, Sect Master! To protect the sect's life and death, we are duty-bound to go, even if it means dying ten thousand times!"

His voice was passionate and stirring, drawing responses from everyone present. Ye Xiaobai thought that since the sect leader had made advance preparations for the attack on the Qingyun Sect, he must have a countermeasure.

"Very good, I'm going to send you to launch a surprise attack on the Qingyun Sect's headquarters, Qingyun Mountain!" Han Chuanming said loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, their faces filled with disbelief. They stared wide-eyed at the speaker, as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Keep in mind, this operation involves launching a surprise attack on the headquarters of a sect! And it's a powerful sect like the Qingyun Sect, which boasts numerous Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators!

With just the four of them—three Core Formation cultivators and one late Foundation Establishment cultivator—it's a pipe dream to successfully complete the mission! It's tantamount to courting death!

"What? You want the four of us to raid the Qingyun Sect headquarters at Qingyun Mountain? Isn't that just sending us to our deaths?" Luo Dalin was the first to come to his senses. He couldn't help but shout loudly, his voice filled with shock and fear.

The other three echoed this sentiment, expressing their utter shock and bewilderment at the decision.

"Quiet!" Han Chuanming shouted coldly, and everyone fell silent, but their eyes were full of doubt.

He smiled slightly and said softly, "Of course, I've also prepared a trump card for you—the sixth-order Soul-Locking and Immortal-Binding Array! This array is an unparalleled array passed down from ancient times, capable of trapping late-stage Core Formation cultivators, leaving them with no chance of escape!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment, secretly marveling at the words.

However, Ye Xiaobai frowned slightly and asked in return, "Sect Master, even with this Soul-Locking Immortal-Binding Array, it's probably useless. After all, that Nascent Soul cultivator's strength is unfathomable, so let's leave that aside for now."

"As for the Qingyun Sect alone, they have many Core Formation stage cultivators. How can this formation possibly trap them all?"

"Silly boy, I didn't tell you to go now!" Han Chuanming said with a slight smile.

"Then..." Ye Xiaobai thought for a moment and immediately understood.

Everyone immediately understood what was going on.

The Qingyun Sect will definitely go all out in this siege of the White Tiger Sect. Not only will they send many Core Formation stage cultivators to fight, but they will also send two powerful Nascent Soul stage cultivators to support them!

As a result, the defensive capabilities of the Qingyun Sect's own headquarters will inevitably be greatly reduced, becoming extremely weak.

Even if some Core Formation stage cultivators are left to guard the place, their number is probably not very large.

After all, who could have predicted that, at this critical moment of life and death, the White Tiger Sect would have the audacity to divide its forces and launch a surprise attack on the enemy's stronghold? Such a daring and unprepared move was truly unexpected!

"The sect leader is indeed far-sighted!"

"But... we need to send Core Formation stage cultivators to reinforce those important strongholds such as spiritual veins and markets that are about to be attacked, and we also need to arrange manpower to launch a surprise attack on Qingyun Mountain. Won't this lead to a shortage of manpower?" Luo Dalin asked with a face full of doubt.

Faced with his questioning, Han Chuanming remained unusually calm. He smiled slightly and said slowly, "There is no need for you to worry about this matter. I naturally have a plan regarding the personnel allocation."

"The most urgent task is to familiarize you all with the setup method and specific control techniques of this formation as soon as possible." As he said this, his eyes were firm and confident, as if everything was under his control.

"Understood!" everyone answered in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Han Chuanming generously taught the four of them how to set up and control the Soul-Locking and Immortal-Binding Array, and instructed them to study it diligently.

Although these people had not previously studied formations in depth, they grasped them quite quickly with such a detailed explanation.

More importantly, this Soul-Locking and Immortal-Binding Array requires the cooperation of four people to control; only in this way can its full power be unleashed.

Therefore, during this period, it is also essential to focus on cultivating and refining the teamwork among these four individuals. After all, a team's ability to cooperate effectively and work together often has a decisive impact on its ultimate success or failure.

In the days that followed, the four of them mainly focused on mastering the control and setup of the Soul-Locking and Immortal-Binding Array, as well as figuring out how to better coordinate their actions in controlling it.

Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the four cultivators practiced diligently day and night, and finally thoroughly understood the mysterious and powerful sixth-order formation—the Soul-Locking and Immortal-Binding Formation! They not only mastered the method of setting up the formation, but also were able to perfectly coordinate and control the entire formation.

In the following days, Han Chuanming continued to organize various tests.

He invited many Core Formation stage cultivators of different realms to challenge the Soul-Locking and Immortal-Binding Array set up by the four.

These cultivators each displayed their unique abilities, but no matter how hard they struggled, they ultimately could not escape the formation's constraints. After each challenge, Han Chuanming would carefully observe and evaluate the four individuals' application of the formation and their level of coordination.

After numerous practical drills, Han Chuanming was deeply impressed by the high level of teamwork displayed by the team.

Ye Xiaobai and the others cooperated closely and coordinated effectively when setting up the formation, greatly amplifying its power; and when facing enemy attacks, they reacted swiftly and adjusted their strategies accordingly. This tacit understanding was undoubtedly the key to their success in trapping numerous Core Formation stage cultivators.

Faced with such an outstanding performance from the four, Han Chuanming secretly rejoiced that his decision to train them in this formation was wise. He believed that given time, as their cultivation improved further, they would surely become an indispensable backbone of the sect!

We also look forward to the day when they truly face a powerful enemy and use this formation to shine and write their own glorious chapter!
